Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the fabric is specifically for technical uses, such as filtering cloth, and is made up or in pieces
Heading 59.11 covers technical textiles for industrial use, including filtering cloth, which may take precedence over woven fabrics of Chapter 51.
If the fabric is mixed mainly or solely with wool or fine animal hair, not man-made filaments
This subheading covers woven fabrics of carded wool or fine animal hair with a higher wool content, without man-made filaments.
If the fabric is mixed mainly or solely with man-made staple fibres instead of filaments
Man-made staple fibres are classified differently from man-made filaments; this alternative applies if the viscose is in staple form.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the fabric is classified as woven and not made up (e.g

• Provide a laboratory analysis confirming the wool and viscose content by weight to support the classification
• Declare the fabric's end use (industrial filter) to the CBSA if requested, but note that end use does not change the tariff classification
